Do you have a childhood trauma involving an episode of Sliders??

Almost halfway through, what is supposed to be, the last season of Ray Donovan. Went off the boil for a bit but this season is good again. John Voight is class.

I gave up after season 2 or 3. Apparently there's another season in the works.

Ya, it got cancelled a few days ago but rumoured to be renewed elsewhere, Netflix or something I suppose.

The season with Ian McShane and Katie Holmes was the last one I watched, just lost interest in it there.

I appreciate how this could be 'marmite' comedy for some but have absolutely enjoyed the fuck out of both seasons of Stath Lets Flats which is available for streaming on All4. The missus started watching it about a year ago and I had initially dismissed it as kind of stupid and too obviously slapstick, which it is to an extent, but it holds up to further and repeated viewing. Highly recommended.

I've only seen the first season of "Stath Lets Flats" but I thought it was fucking brilliant. Jamie Demetriou is great in it. Anything that that Robert Popper ("Friday Night Dinner", "Look Around You") is involved in is always going to be worth a go. I need to get around to watching the second season.

Currently watching the new "Narcos: Mexico". Halfway done. Slow start but now it's cooking. Also Scoot McNairy is one of the most underrated actors around at the minute. One of my favourite shows of the last 20 years was "Halt And Catch Fire".

Phew, thank goodness there's someone else who likes it. I was worried that maybe my tastes are getting a bit odd as I approach my 40th year!! 2nd season is great, so many great, quotable moments that stand up to repeated viewings. I only hope they see fit to go for a third season.

Nets down since Sunday morning so started rewatching vikings. Forgot about some great scenes throughout.
Just watched the scene where he basically tries to sort a threesome with Lagetha and Aslaug 😂😂

Vikings used to be excellent viewing. It's painful enough at the moment. Really lost its way without Ragnar. Dialogue is so fucking bad and the acting is shite enough, Bjorn gurning his way through scenes is a joke.

I found this season a bit better than the previous tbh but yes once Ragnar left it started dropping as besides being the main character he was such a standout from the others.
It's funny you mentioned Bjorn gurning away... watching the first few seasons before he suddenly grew 6ft over nighthe was mostly 'gurning' awayas a child too  :laugh:

I haven't watched the season finale yet but I really hope Bjorn got hammer smashed face as he became such annoying character to watch and his nasally weird hard man voice was torture.
Am I right in thinkingthat was the last episode ever?

The Chef Show season 3 just up on Netflix.  That's the evening sorted.  Easily the best food show going with,  perhaps,  Chef's Table at a close second.

Started watching 'Kitchen Nightmares' on YouTube as I was fecked after the gym and wanted something handy to watch. Reality TV, especially American made, is usually garbage, and in a sense this is too. It's fairly mental what goes on behind the kitchen door in restaurants though. Lads dropping chickens on the floor and horsing them on to the frying pan anyways. Very 'down and out in Paris and London' esque.

I used to be a chef and ya a lot of that shit does happen in kitchens.
Kitchen nightmares is unreal though.
There's an episode with 2 brothers running a place in new Orleans.
Fuckin hilarious altogether.
